jackd Posted June 30 Posted June 30 Since i use a Streamdeck XL for a lot of macros triggering functions in planes i found that when the Lwin or Lwin key is used in default DCS preset control commands, example Lwin+T in a FW190a8 for some radio function, i run in to problems probably due windows anti macro-ing security. I would appreciate it if DCS could AVOID using the Lwin (and Rwin) keys for default plane controls in general.
Flappie Posted July 12 Posted July 12 What problem do you experience? and what makes you think Windows does not want you to use your Windows keys in games?
MAXsenna Posted July 12 Posted July 12 What problem do you experience? and what makes you think Windows does not want you to use your Windows keys in games?They probably get stuck in the game. I have no issues with macros on my Razer keyboards, I have several connected at the same time. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk
jackd Posted 16 hours ago Author Posted 16 hours ago (edited) Hi, sorry for not answering earlier, just saw this reply now. It seems that Streamdeck (XL in my case) cannot transfer out L-win or in fact any Win key as moderator for a required keyboard combination like L-win + S (any added key in fact). Any PC keyboard works fine with Win macros, and also programmed Win containing macros from a Razer Tartarus Gamepad works. Been extensively in contact with Elgato support, and they did not come up with a fix with their driver-software now 7.0.3 even. Only thing fixed with their latest software 7.03 is that when you have a win-key containing macro it no longer crashes windows explorer LoL. DCS is not at fault here, but Streamdeck seems unable to bypass any windows anti-macro-ing routine, maybe. Windows Defender seems off with my paid Avast Premium. I used a free tool "keyboardtesutillity.exe" confirming that behavior from Streamdeck. If Streamdeck works with DCS it could be godsent with all the button presses needed some times .... you can edit the button displays. ADDED: just got a mail, nov 6 2025, from elgato support that they're still working on it. Edited 12 hours ago by jackd
